Jervis Bay long weekend

This weekend I went camping in the Jervis Bay nature reserve.  It was beautiful with pristine beaches and a beautiful botanical gardens.  The highlight was a swim in the emerald green ocean, bracing but wonderfully invigorating.

Point Perpendicular

On the way home we visited this beautiful old lighthouse, nestled on some very impressive cliffs.  Absolutely beautiful.

Forrester Beach (NSW Central Coast)

I have been to Forresters Beach before - and what an amazing place it is.  I was very happy to return to take some more photos and soak in the beauty of the beach and it's extraordinary rock formations.  The beach is wonderfully secluded so during the week, you have the whole place to yourself.  Mack loves this beach (dogs are allowed!) and, as before, he did lots of modelling on the rocks.

Terrigal (NSW Central Coast)

Terrigal also has some nice rock formations.  It is more populated than Forresters Beach with lots of little shops and restaurants.  A great place for fresh fish and chips I discovered.

The amazing Forresters Beach

 Wow, this beach blew me away.  About an hour's drive from Cape Town, I stayed there overnight and got up early to watch the run rise over the sculptured rocks.  I was the only person on the beach for hours, except for Mack.  An amazing experience.
